The present application discloses a display panel and a display device. The display panel includes a display panel main body, a flexible wiring board, and a printed circuit board. The display panel main body includes a plurality of wires, and the display panel main body is connected to an end of the flexible wiring board. The printed circuit board is connected to another end of the flexible wiring board. The printed circuit board includes a driver chip, and the driver chip is electrically connected to the wires.

FIELD OF INVENTION

The present application relates to a field of display technologies, especially to a display panel and a display device including the display panel.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

Popularity of mobile products and large screen displays has promoted the rapid development of low-cost, high-density, and mass-quantity electronic production technologies. Large-sized electronic products such as liquid crystal display, liquid crystal TV, and plasma TV, and small and medium-sized electronic products such as mobile phones, digital cameras, etc. are all based on development trends of lightness, thinness, and compactness, which require a new generation of packaging technologies with high density, small size, and free installation to match the above requirements. A chip on film (COF) encapsulation technology is born accordingly. Such technology is a die-flexible-film fabrication technology. It uses a flexible circuit board as a chip encapsulation carrier for bonding the chip to a flexible substrate circuit.

With reference to FIG. 1 , FIG. 1 is a schematic structural view of a conventional COF-type display device. The display device comprises a display panel main body 1, a chip on film 2 including an end bonded and connected to the display panel main body 1, a circuit board 4 bonded and connected to another end of the chip on film 2, and a driver chip 3 bonded to the chip on film 2. Because different driver chips 3 may need to transmit different signals into the display panel main body 1, different chip on films 2 need to transmit signals corresponding to the driver chips 3 disposed on the chip on films 2 such that different chip on films 2 may need to transmit specific signals, and specific internal wires need to be disposed in a region of the display panel main body 1 connected to the chip on films 2 to receive the specific signals. For example, usually transmission of scan signals is performed on chip on films 2 on left and right sides. Therefore, scan signal wires are required to be concentratedly disposed on left and right sides of the display panel main body 1 to correspond to the chip on films 2 on the left and right sides, which increases a frame width of the display panel main body 1 and is disadvantageous to a narrow frame display. Furthermore, a layout of the internal wires in the display panel main body 1 is necessarily restricted by signal transmission on the chip on films 2.

Because different driver chips 3 might need to transmit signals into the display panel main body 1, different chip on films 2 need to transmit signals corresponding to the driver chips 3 disposed thereon, which results in that different chip on films 2 might need to transmit specific signals, and internal wires need to be disposed in a region of the chip on film 2 connected to the display panel main body 1 to receive the specific signals. For example, generally, chip on films 2 on left and right sides perform transmission of scan signal, and therefore scan signal wires are concentratedly disposed on left and right sides of the display panel main body 1 to correspond to the chip on films 2 of the left and right sides, which increases a frame width of the display panel main body 1 and is disadvantageous to a narrow frame display. Furthermore, a layout of the internal wires in the display panel main body 1 is necessarily restricted by signal transmission on the chip on film 2.

The third sections of the first signal lines 321 and the third sections of the second signal lines 322 are located simultaneously in the first layer or the second layer. Namely, the third sections of the first signal lines 321 and the third sections of the second signal lines 322 are converged in the same layer, and then are connected to the connection lines 21 in the flexible wiring board 20 for signal transmission.

As described above, the embodiment of the present application can further adjust and change the wiring layout by adjusting and designing the arrangement of the signal lines 32 on the printed circuit board 30 to improve flexibility of the wiring layout.

Namely, the arrangement can be the first signal line set, the second signal line set, the first signal line set, the second signal line set, sequentially arranged along the second direction.

The arrangement of the signal lines 32 on the printed circuit board 30 can be adjusted by adjusting a number of the third sections of the first signal lines 321 in each of the first signal line sets and a number of the third sections of the second signal lines 322 in each of the second signal line sets to further adjust the arrangement of the wires in the display panel main body 10.

Optionally, the first signal line set comprises the third sections of the first signal lines 321 of number n, the second signal line set comprises the third sections of the second signal lines 322 of number m. Both n, m are positive integers, and n and m can be equal or unequal. Namely, the third sections of the first signal lines 321 of a number n and the third sections of the second signal lines 322 of a number m are distributed alternately along the second direction Y.

Optionally, the number of the third sections of the first signal lines 321 in the first signal line sets along the second direction Y increases or decreases gradually. The number of the third sections of the second signal lines 322 in the second signal line sets along the second direction Y increases or decreases gradually.

In an embodiment of the present application, with reference to FIG. 3 , n is 1 and m is 5, in other words, the number of the third sections of the first signal lines 321 in each of the first signal line sets is the same, and comprises one third section of the first signal line 321. The number of the third sections of the second signal lines 322 in each of the second signal line sets is the same, and comprises five third sections of the second signal lines 322. Furthermore, one of the first signal line sets and one of the second signal line sets are shown in the figure as an example for explanation.

The flexible wiring board 20 comprises first connection lines 211 connected correspondingly to the first signal lines 321 and second connection lines 212 connected correspondingly to the second signal lines 322. Furthermore, an arrangement of the first connection lines 211 and the second connection lines 212 on the flexible wiring board 20 is determined depending on an arrangement of the third sections of the first signal lines 321 and the third sections of the second signal lines 322. In the present embodiment, one first connection line 211 corresponds to five second connection lines 212, and they are arranged alternately along the second direction Y.

In the meantime, with reference to FIG. 4 , the display panel main body 10 comprises a plurality of wires, and the wires comprise first wires 11 connected correspondingly to the first connection lines 211 and second wires 12 connected correspondingly to the second connection lines 212. Each of the first wires 11 comprise a first portion 111 and a second portion 112, and the first portion 111 is connected correspondingly to the first connection lines 21. Portions of the first portion 111 and the second wires 12 corresponding to the displaying region A of the display panel main body 10 are distributed to be parallel to each other, portions of the first portion 111 and the second wires 12 corresponding to a non-displaying region can be arranged at a certain included angle with the first direction X to achieve connection of each of the first portion 111 with the corresponding first connection lines 211, connection of each of the second wires 12 with the corresponding second connection lines 212, and electrical connection of the perpendicular second portion 112 and the first portion 111 through a connection point 13. The connection point 13 can be formed by defining a via hole, which is not limited here.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the first signal lines 321 transmit scan signals, and the second signal lines 322 transmit data signals. Accordingly, by signal transmission of the first connection lines 211 and the second connection lines 212, scan signals are transmitted to the first wires 11, and data signals are transmitted to the second wires 12. Namely, in the present embodiment, the first wires 11 are scan signal wires, and the second wires 12 are data signal wires. The present embodiment, by the arrangement of disposing the first signal lines 321 and the second signal lines 322 on the printed circuit board 30, makes the scan signal wires and the data signal wires in the display panel main body 10 be distributed evenly in the displaying region A instead of being restricted in the display panel main body 10, which achieves flexibility of the wiring layout and can reduce the frame width of the display panel main body 10 to achieve narrow frame display.

Optionally, with reference to FIG. 4 , the display panel comprises two flexible wiring boards 20, and a distribution of the first connection lines 211 and the second connection lines 212 on each of the flexible wiring boards 20 is different. It can be understood by connection relationship between the wires and the connection lines 21 and a number of the wires in the figure that the flexible wiring board 20 on a left side has six first connection lines 211 and twenty-five second connection lines 212, and the flexible wiring board 20 on a right side has five first connection lines 211 and thirty second connection lines 212.

Optionally, with reference to FIG. 5 , the display panel comprises one flexible wiring board 20, namely, eleven first connection lines 211 and fifty-five second connection lines 212 are located on the flexible wiring board 20.

Specifically, the number of the wires provided by the present embodiment are only for explanation and is not limited here, and the number of the flexible wiring board 20 can be single or plural, the number and distribution of the connection lines 21 on each of the flexible wiring board 20 can be the same or different, which is not limited here.

Furthermore, with reference to FIG. 3 , the first sections and the third sections of the first signal lines 321 and the first sections and the third sections of the second signal lines 322 are located in the first layer, and the second sections of the first signal lines 321 and the second signal lines 322 are partially located in the first layer and partially located in the second layer. When the second sections of the first signal lines 321 intersect the second sections of the second signal lines 322 during arrangement, connection bridges 33 can be disposed in the second sections to connect the first signal lines 321 and/or the second signal lines 322. Furthermore, the connection bridges 33 are located in he second layer, and each of the connection bridge 33 connects the first signal line 321 or the second signal line 322 by extending through a via hole of the insulation layer.

The third sections of the first signal lines 321 and the third sections of the second signal lines 322 are in the first layer, and are connected to corresponding first connection lines 211 and second connection lines 212 to achieve signal transmission.

Furthermore, a length distribution of the first sections, the second sections, and the third section of the second signal lines 322 during arrangement is as follows. A length of the third section near the first side of the driver chip is less than a length of the third section away from the first side of the driver chip. A length of the second section connected to the third section near the first side of the driver chip is greater than a length of the second section connected to the third section away from the first side of the driver chip. A length of the first section connected to the third section near the first side of the driver chip is greater than a length of the first section connected to the third section away from the first side of the driver chip. As such, for the second signal lines 322 with the shorter third sections, a total length of the second signal lines 322 and other second signal lines 322 can tend to be consistent by increasing lengths of the first sections and the second sections such that resistance of each of the second signal lines 322 tends to be consistent to achieve even signal transmission.

Furthermore, a distribution of lengths of the first signal lines 321 is as follows. A length of the third section near the first side of the driver chip is less than a length of the third section away from the first side of the driver chip. A length of the first section connected to the third section near the first side of the driver chip is greater than a length of the first section connected to the third section away from the first side of the driver chip. As such, for the first signal lines 321 with the shorter third sections, a total length of the first signal lines 321 and other first signal lines 321 can tend to be consistent by increasing lengths of the first section such that resistance of each of the first signal lines 321 tends to be consistent to achieve even signal transmission.

In the present embodiment, the driver chip 31 is disposed on the printed circuit board 30 such that by adjusting and designing the arrangement of the signal lines 32 on the printed circuit board 30 and transmitting signals into the wires through the flexible wiring board 20, distribution of the wires is no longer restricted due to different signals transmitted on different flexible wiring board 20, which improves flexibility of the arrangement of the wires, and simultaneously achieves an effect of reduction of a frame width of the display panel main body 10 to achieve narrow frame display.

In another embodiment of the present application, with reference to FIG. 6 , a difference of the present embodiment from the first embodiment is that the first sections and the second sections of the first signal lines 321 are located in the second layer, the third sections of the first signal lines 321 are located in the first layer, and the first sections and the third sections of the second signal lines 322 are located in the first layer. The second sections of the second signal lines 322 intersect each other during an arrangement, at this time, the second signal lines 322 can be connected by disposing connection bridges 33 located in the second layer in the second sections of the second signal lines 322 to prevent intersection of the second signal lines 322 in the same layer.

At the same time, the second sections of the first signal lines 321 are connected to the third sections of the first signal lines 321 by extending through via holes of the insulation layer.

In the present embodiment, the driver chip 31 is disposed on the printed circuit board 30 such that by adjusting and designing the arrangement of the signal lines 32 on the printed circuit board 30 and transmitting signals into the wires through the flexible wiring board 20, distribution of the wires is no longer restricted due to different signals transmitted on different flexible wiring board 20, which improves flexibility of the arrangement of the wires, and simultaneously achieves an effect of reduction of a frame width of the display panel main body 10 to achieve narrow frame display.

In another embodiment of the present application, with reference to FIG. 7 , a difference of the present embodiment from the previous embodiment is that n is 1 and m is 4. Namely, the number of the third sections of the first signal lines 321 in each of the first signal line sets is the same, comprising the third section of one first signal line 321, and the number of the third sections of the second signal lines 322 in each of the second signal line sets is the same, comprising the third sections of four second signal lines 322. Furthermore, one of the first signal line sets and one of the second signal line sets are shown in the figure for explanation.

Furthermore, the arrangement of the signal lines 32 on the printed circuit board 30 is different from that of the previous embodiment. The arrangement of the second signal lines 322 is changed, which can prevent intersection of the second sections of the second signal lines 322 on the printed circuit board 30.

Specifically, a distribution of lengths of the first sections, the second sections, and the third sections of the second signal lines 322 during arrangement is as follows. A length of the third section near the first side of the driver chip 31 is greater than a length of the third section away from the first side of the driver chip 31. A length of the second section connected to the third section near the first side of the driver chip 31 is less than a length of the second section connected to the third section away from the first side of the driver chip 31. A length of the first section connected to the third section near the first side of the driver chip 31 is less than a length of the first section connected to the third section away from the first side of the driver chip 31. As such, for the second signal lines 322 with the longer third sections, a total length of the second signal lines 322 and other second signal lines 322 can tend to be consistent by reducing lengths of the first section and the second section such that resistance of each of the second signal lines 322 tends to be consistent to achieve signal transmission.
